William, H. Maxwell walked out on the
street to- clear his ' aching ' head. At

said MaxwelV "TouTe It." '
He dragged Kline Into the conference.
Every one shouted that he was tho man
for the place, Woolruff told him, that
he should have the nomination. --'.

beaten that being one of the worst
ears In memory among the Republicans
across the East river and , then thank
fully dropped out Of politics. Next Rudy
Fuller, leader of what is now the Fifty
first aldermanlc district, found the sit
uation beginning to Jell on htm. He
needed a vote getter on ills ticket. One
afternoon Kline thought he'd go home
parly, and take his family out for a
ride. Mora luck. , Fuller waved to htm

"Hey, Kllrie."' said he.; In effect.1 "so
down and Join the Republican club In

Kline didn't want any more polities.
The first batch had been sour. But he
liad to take It just the same, and ajerved
mtil the Democrats gerrymandered him

ion first began to, stir within him.
Previously ha had been a conscript

President of tha board, became ill; and
Cllne worked so well In filling his place
hat no objection was i made to ' the

needed, for Kline la ' not a rich man.

native rebnvlcts wre . indioted ' f or the
murder of a. fellow-convict named Jacob
Mkaba,; at Dutoltspan convict station. !
The story, for the crown waa that Jacob I
had decided to withdraw from the "Nl-
nevlte, Society," abdicating Vthe chief
tainship,' and had persuaded : others to I
withdraw also. For ' thjs,- and for ..tfte
fact that he was supposed to have car
ried tales to tha station, superintendent
he was sentenced to death.-. He. relisted
endeavors to get him into a certain call,
but eventually went and was set upon
and stabbed to death. .V" ;r
One of the accused , was the society's
doctor, another a 'Judge,', a third suc
ceeded Jacob as 'chief, the . fourth .'be

the execution of their sentences. -f . M
Judge Xiange said that the .Nine vi tee

all. the oonvlots In- Johannesburg were
Ninevltes. The deceased had been ohlef
of the sotdety. . Secret prison meetings
decided on the stabblngs.' and those ap
pointed to execute orders were, liable to
punishment If they failed. ), This witness
said the rule was "Once a Nlnevlte, al-
ways-a.Nlnevlte.'' Jacob's death war
rant was "verbally signed," and it was
ordained, that should the knife not be
forthcoming, he should be killed while
working on the DeBeers floors. v
Superintendent Pyason said the Nl-
nevltes caused immense trouble In the
stations,' ana although watched contin

was In Pretoria, "and i was recognised
